LCG, November 6, 2025--X-energy Reactor Company, LLC, (X-energy) and the U.S. Office of Nuclear Energy today announced the start of confirmatory irradiation testing at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to qualify X-energy’s proprietary TRISO-X fuel pebbles for commercial use in the Xe-100 Small Modular Reactor (SMR). (TRISO stands for TRi-structural ISOtropic). This is the first time that TRISO-X fuel pebbles will undergo irradiation testing in a U.S. lab, which is a critical step in meeting requirements set forth by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the commercial deployment of advanced reactors that will use the fuel.

LCG, October 28, 2025--NextEra Energy and Google yesterday announced two agreements that will help meet growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) with clean, reliable, 24/7 nuclear power and strengthen the nation's nuclear leadership. First, Google signed a new, 25-year agreement for power generated at the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Iowa's only nuclear power facility. The 601-MW boiling water reactor unit was shut down in 2020 and is expected to commence operations by the first quarter of 2029, pending regulatory approvals to restart the plant.

Construction Complete on South Kent Wind Project in Ontario
LCG, April 16, 2014-Samsung Renewable Energy, Inc. (Samsung) and Pattern Energy Group Inc. (Pattern Energy) yesterday announced that construction of the South Kent Wind project is complete and that the wind farm is now operational. The project is the largest wind farm in Canada. The electric generating capacity of the project is 270 MW, which is provided by 124 Siemens wind turbines.
The power produced by South Kent Wind is under a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA). The new generating capacity is needed to compensate for the continued retirement of coal-fired generation in Ontario.
The CEO of Pattern Energy stated, "South Kent Wind is our first in a series of wind projects in Ontario and we're proud it has been delivered on time and within budget, despite a very harsh winter.???
Pattern Energy and Samsung are developing and constructing in Ontario three other wind projects: the 150-MW Grand Renewable Energy Park, the 180-MW Armow Wind Project, and the 270-MW K2 Wind Project. These projects, together with South Kent Wind, will provide a total of 870 MW of wind capacity in Ontario.
